To add even more to this point, Ron!Dumbledore would not only 
be unwilling to "put right what once went wrong" because of 
allegence to some abstract idea about not meddling with history 
(like following a temporal version of the prime directive).  He 
would also realize that any attempt to "put right," for example, 
Wormtail's betrayal would not only alter the future in some 
abtract way but - _prevent the destruction of Voldemort_!!!!

Think about it.  In 130 years Ron!Dumbledore never comes up 
with a way to defeat Voldemort other than through Harry.  
Imagine 
how this would torture him.  He knows that his best friend's 
parents and his childhood will have to sacrificed.  He sees no 
way out - except maybe killing an 11 year old Tom Riddle - which 
would be so wrong he can't do it.

So, he has to allow the betrayal so Harry's mother will die to 
protect him and so the AK will bounce back and so Harry will 
recieve some of V's powers etc. etc. leading to Harry's eventual 
defeat of V.   Ron!Dumbledore can't put right small things at the 
risk of allowing V to remain in power.

most geeky references ever)
